Mill Ave. goes directly by ASU and University Dr. actually cuts through the University. I've posted my thoughts on the school carry bans before but can reiterate them here. For the most part the ban on weapons at Universities is a violation of state preemption and an arrest by the university police could be grounds for a lawsuit. There is a loophole in the state law that allows universities to ban firearms and other weapons on the school property and in buildings and if there is no signage the most that can be done is ask you to leave school property. Where they seem to take it too far is to try to say you can't have a gun in your vehicle (while on school property) or while on a public street that goes through or by the university. I'm tempted to actually open carry down University Dr. in Phoenix or Speedway Blvd. in Tucson during peak student time deliberately just to see what happens and I'm not afraid to sue the hell out of them or take it all the way to the state Supreme court. They cannot prohibit firearms on any public street period. Even harrassment by the cops is grounds for a lawsuit. Universities are unfortunately another form of big (liberal) government where you are not a ciziten but a subject. Come to think of it I actually did OC one time at the McDonald's on Speedway right by the University and I did get a few stares but no trouble. Don't think I wouldn't have given the police a major attitude either because McDonald's is private property regardless of whether it is on the campus area or not.
